Are product-based businesses the most difficult to launch and scale? There are many reasons why I ask this question. For one thing, product-based businesses have a lot of moving parts to them and higher costs than service-based businesses. You’ve got a lot to think about on top of the actual product you’re selling such as packaging, product photos, shipping, returns and so much more.
So, when Julie Ball first told me about her idea to grow a unique subscription box business, I was a little hesitant and honestly, worried for her. A product-based business is difficult enough, but a subscription box business has even more components to it. However, Julie was able to leverage her corporate background as a digital marketer, her experience working with women entrepreneurs and her own website design and development firm, to make her subscription box business a success.
I love it when someone proves me wrong with their success, and this is exactly what Julie did with her “Sparkle, Hustle, Grow” subscription box business for female entrepreneurs. Inside each box, her subscribers uncover tools, training, and resources to help them grow their business.
